OldMarine Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 That might explain the recent blast of sales.Figures... about the time I start, the vendors quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stix Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Well, that ends my daily dose of "pyro porn". Around the same time as I joined this forum I subscribed to Skylighters newsletters. Simply so I could drool over all the chemicals for sale, knowing full well that they weren't available here. Sort of like browsing through one of those tech stores looking at all the wonderful gadgets and gear you can't have. On occasions I like to browse the website - but of course, that's only to read the articles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserface Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 To be fair, skylighter has been officially "for sale" for years, and I doubt it will just close, without a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peret Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Skylighter was going long before Harry took it over. The Kosankes used to own it. The article database is such a valuable resource, I'm sure it will live on. I hope so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldMarine Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Just received an email verifying the site is for sale. I hope someone takes the reins so I don't lose my best source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepdixie Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 One can't help but wonder if the owner was facing increasing pressure from government agencies due to the variety of chemicals sold. It would seem unlikely that one would invest a good deal to purchase a business such as this not knowing if they could be shut down tomorrow or face drastic restrictions on what could be sold.

calebkessinger Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 http://www.pyrochemsource.com/http://www.ihaveadotcom.com/cart/as far as anyone knows, skylighter isn't going away. Harry is just ready to retire. Just a couple other good suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldMarine Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Probably the wrong spot to post but since pyrochemsource was mentioned, has anyone else received a security warning (bad SSL) while ordering from them lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebkessinger Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Of course there is MEEEE for tooling. but i think a lot of folks were getting tubes and supplies from skylighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeee Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 CalebYou got the spelling wrong, one too many E's and your missing the ik.

DrJones Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Skylighter has moved to Morro Bay CA, and now ships from the west coast--a real boon to many of us. The How-To articles remain, as do the daily sale offers. I'm now getting next day shipping, though many key reagents are out of stock at the moment.
